I seem to have quite a few! The Must-Have Cardigan (Paton’s Street Smart booklet) is coming along. Now that the weather’s cooler, I don’t mind knitting it. I had 16 rows of the back done, then ended up frogging the whole thing. I’m now at row 17, and I’m happy with it so far.

Finally! … this has been going on for a while now.
I finally realized that I’d have to knit a gusset that fit, then base the rest of the sock on that. Here’s the gusset that actually fits!
Sock yarn (I used Apple Laine Arizona for the test socks), size 1 needles (magic loop)Turkish cast on 16 [...]

I’ve finished the last chart on Mystic Waters! Tomorrow, the bind-off! I hope I can get it blocked tomorrow, also, as I think I’ll wear this one on Saturday, instead of the Adamas that I was planning to wear.
Pictures will be coming soon…

I must be crazy … I’ve found so many beautiful things I want to knit through Ravelry, and I can’t seem to stop myself from casting on.
Cast on Sunday, 1/20:
I’ve gotten through 3 body repeats of the “Adamas Shawl” from Knitpicks. I bought this pattern a while back, and I don’t see it [...]

Ok, so I’m late to the party.
Went to Rhinebeck on Sunday (or, as it’s officially known, the NY Sheep and Wool festival). WOW! This was my first time there, and it was great! Of course, the weather was unusually warm for this time of year, so that was a bonus.
My daughter and I walked through [...]
